Endoscopic Management of High-Grade Dysplasia and Superficial Esophageal Carcinoma

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Esophagectomy is no longer considered standard therapy for high-grade dysplasia and early esophageal cancer limited to the mucosa. Organ-sparing procedures including endoscopic resection in combination with various forms of ablation have been shown to be the preferable option for the treatment of early esophageal neoplasia in most cases. This chapter will discuss the data that have led to this paradigm shift in treatment, along with specifying ideal candidates for endoscopic therapies, current treatment modalities, clinical and safety outcomes, and specific management recommendations.
